But Wayne; the Da Vinci Code is a novel aint' it? Like Moby Dick or All Quiet on The Western Front. Dan Brown never claimed this was true did he?
Also the Science vs Religion as a model of the world; they call it Science because it can be proven experimentally,no? I mean thats the definition of Science, it describes behaviours that can be repeated in a laboratory.
I don't think another model of the world could have gotten us to the moon; or made color TV. Right?
Science is Science and Religion is a social club. You belong to this one I belong to that one. No one belongs to Science; they do it.The best person to discover is Joseph Campbell, I know he writes about myth and the human archetype of belief but he manages to put it all in perspective. Where these belief systems originate and what they mean.
And a person who'se theories have been discredited to some extent is about to make a huge comeback in research into human behaviour; Sigmund Freud.
